Abstract
Description
- Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a search technology, and more particularly, to a searching method and a search engine.
- Currently, a user usually obtains internet information by using a search engine. Specifically, firstly, the user inputs a search query, and then the search engine matches search results corresponding to the search query in web pages or web services according to the search query input by the user, and provides the search results to the user after sequencing the search results, finally, the user obtains internet information according to the search results provided by the search engine.
- There are some problems in the above-described searching mechanism based on a search query matching, which are as follows: (1) The user may not know how to build the search query, and thus the search result meeting a demand of the user cannot be obtained. (2) If the search results do not meet the demand of the user, the user needs to vary the search query to perform a search again. For example, referring to
Fig. 1(a) which is a schematic diagram of recommendations provided by a search engine according to a related art, the user can select a recommendation from the recommendations provided by the search engine to perform a search again. Since the recommendations are expanded based on the search query input by the user, only hot search queries can be provided for the user and there is still a possibility that the hot search queries cannot meet the demand of the user. (3) If the user focuses on an attribute or associated information of a thing (such as an entity, a resource, etc.) which is difficult to describe, the user usually inputs a broad search query without the attribute or associated information to perform a search, which can may lead to a result that the search results are not precise enough, thus increasing a search cost of the user. - In summary, it shows that the user is not satisfied with the current search result corresponding to the search query and wants to get a better search result, when the user modifies the search query, clicks on the related search queries, or uses the recommendations. However, if the user cannot obtain a satisfactory search result provided by the search engine by modifying the search query, clicking on the related search queries, or using the recommendations, a satisfaction of the user may be decreased, or the user may abandon the search engine if the user tries several times without obtaining any useful search result, which is an injury to the user.
- In addition, with the above-described searching mechanism based on a search query matching, the search results provided by the search engine often cannot satisfy the demand of the user. Referring to
Fig. 1(b), Fig. 1(b) is a schematic diagram of providing the search result by the search engine according to a related art. As shown inFig. 1 (b) , the user inputs the search query "methods for training the huskies", at this time, the user wishes to obtain a complete set of methods for training the huskies, however, the search results apparently cannot meet the demand of the user. - Embodiments of the present disclosure seek to solve at least one of the problems existing in the related art to at least some extent.
- Accordingly, a first objective of the present disclosure is to provide a searching method.
- A second objective of the present disclosure is to provide a search engine.

In addition, the demand dimension may be multi-azimuth correlation information associated with a semantic meaning of the search query closely and meeting the demand of the user, for example, the plurality of levels demand dimensions can represent lateral correlation information of the search query by a plurality of first level demand dimensions, also can represent longitudinal correlation information of the search query by a plurality of lower level demand dimensions, such that the information (may comprise a solution, a value information and an action button) can be provided to the user in many aspects, thus the user can obtain the search result meeting the demand of the user.
- In order to achieve the above objectives, according to embodiments of a second aspect of the present disclosure, the search engine is provided, including: a first obtaining module, configured to obtain a search query; a determining module, configured to determine a first search result and at least one first level of demand dimensions corresponding to the search query according to the search query; a providing module, configured to provide the first search result and the at least one first level of demand dimensions in a search result page; a second obtaining module, configured to obtain an operation on the at least one first level of demand dimensions from a user; an updating module, configured to update the first search result and the at least one first level of demand dimensions in the search result page according to a demand dimension corresponding to the operation of the user.

-
Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a searching method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. - As shown in
Fig. 2 , the searching method includes the following steps. - In step S201, a search query is obtained by a search engine.
- Specifically, in some embodiments, the user can input the search query in an input box provided by the search engine to enable the search engine to obtain the search query, also the user can input the search query in many kinds of input boxes for quick searching to enable the search engine to obtain the search query, and this is not limited in embodiments of the present method.
- In step S202, a first search result and at least one first level of demand dimensions corresponding to the search query are determined by the search engine according to the search query, and the first search result and the at least one first level of demand dimensions are provided in a search result page by the search engine.
- Specifically, determining by the search engine the first search result can refer to the related art, which is not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure. The demand dimensions corresponding to the search query are multi-azimuth information obtained by mining a knowledge base according to a demand intensity and associated with a semantic meaning of the search query, and may represent correlation information corresponding to different requirements for the search query. The demand dimensions may represent lateral correlation information associated with the semantic meaning of the search query, also may represent longitudinal correlation information associated with the semantic meaning of the search query.
- In some embodiments, the search engine includes a plurality of levels of demand dimensions, in which each first level of demand dimensions includes a plurality of first level demand dimensions, and each first level demand dimension corresponds to at least one lower level demand dimension. The plurality of first level demand dimensions can represent the lateral correlation information, and the plurality of levels of demand dimensions can represent the longitudinal correlation information, such that various demands of the user can be covered fully in many aspects, and thus the user can obtain the search result meeting the demand of the user.
- For example, the first level of demand dimensions corresponding to the search query "huskies" may be "purchase strategy", "adorable Husky", "methods for feeding", "anecdotes". Each first level demand dimension may correspond to at least one second level demand dimension, such as the first level demand dimension "purchase strategy" may correspond to the second level demand dimensions such as "How much is a husky ", "Is it easy to keep it ? ", "how to distinguish a purebred dog" and "more purchase strategies".
-
Fig. 3(a) is a schematic diagram of a search result page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown inFig. 3(a) , with respect to the search query "huskies" input by the user, the search result page may provide a plurality of demand dimensions at a same level (i.e. the first level demand dimensions) (such as "purchase strategy", "adorable Husky", " methods for feeding" and "anecdotes") inregion 1; the plurality of lower level demand dimensions(i.e. the second level demand dimensions) corresponding to each first level demand dimension are provided in the region where the each first level demand dimension is located, for example, the demand dimensions (such as "How much is a husky", "Is it easy to keep it ? ", "how to distinguish a purebred dog" and "more purchase strategies") can be provided with respect to "purchase strategy". According to a preset strategy, the search results corresponding to one demand dimension thereof can be displayed inregion 2, and the preset strategy is not limited in the present disclosure. For example, the search results corresponding to the demand dimension "How much is a husky" may be displayed inFig. 3(a) . - In some embodiments, the user can click on
button 3 inregion 1 to view more demand dimensions. - In step S203, an operation on the at least one first level of demand dimensions from the user is obtained by the search engine, the first search result and the at least one first level of demand dimensions in the search result page are updated by the search engine according to a demand dimension corresponding to the operation of the user.
- Specifically, after the search engine provides the first search result and the at least one first level of demand dimensions, the user can perform an appropriate operation according to his/her demand. The search engine may determine the first search result and the at least one first level of demand dimensions according to the operation of the user, and may update the search result page accordingly.
-
Fig. 3(b) is a schematic diagram of a search result page according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, after the user click on the demand dimension "purchase strategy", as shown inFig. 3(b) , the updated search result page provides the lower level demand dimensions corresponding to the demand dimension "purchase strategy" (such as "How much is a husky", "Is it easy to keep it? ", "Does a husky lose hair badly? ") inregion 4,and provides the search result corresponding to the demand dimension "purchase strategy" inregion 5. The user can click onbutton 6 on the right side ofregion 4 to view more lower level demand dimensions corresponding to the demand dimension "purchase strategy". - In addition, if the user clicks on the demand dimension "purchase strategy", the search query may be automatically transformed to "how to get a husky" without inputting the search query again, thus the operations of the user can be reduced.
- In some embodiments, some higher levels of demand dimensions corresponding to the current demand dimension can be provided in the search result page by the engine, for example, as shown in part a of
region 4 inFig. 3(b) , the user may click on the corresponding demand dimension to update the search result in the search result page. - It should be understood that, the above-described examples are merely illustrative, those having the ordinary skills in the related art can make changes, alternatives, and modifications in the embodiments without departing from spirit, principles and scope of the present disclosure.
- With the searching method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by determining by the search engine the first search result and the at least one first level of demand dimensions corresponding to the search query according to the search query, on the one hand, he user can locate the search query corresponding to his/her demand and the corresponding search result quickly according to the at least one first level of demand dimensions, and a defect of the related art that the user does not know how to construct the search query to obtain the search result meeting the demand of the user may be overcome, such that even if the user does not know how to construct the search query, the search result meeting the demand of the user can be gradually defined according to a plurality of levels of demand dimensions; on the other hand, the user can obtain the corresponding search results by clicking on different demand dimensions in the search result page, that is, the search results can be obtained automatically by an intelligent interaction without performing a search again, and a search cost of the user can be reduced. In addition, the demand dimension may be multi-azimuth correlation information associated with a semantic meaning of the search query closely and meeting the demand of the user and is multi-faceted, for example, the plurality of level demand dimensions can represent lateral correlation information of the search query by a plurality of first level demand dimensions, also can represent longitudinal correlation information of the search query by a plurality of lower level demand dimensions, such that the information (may comprise a solution, a value information and an action button) can be provided to the user in many aspects, thus the user can obtain the search result meeting the demand of the user.

- Specifically, determining by the search engine the first search result can refer to the related art, which is not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure. The demand dimensions corresponding to the search query are multi-azimuth information obtained by mining a knowledge base according to a demand intensity and associated with a semantic meaning of the search query, and may represent correlation information corresponding to different requirements for the search query. The demand dimensions may represent lateral correlation information associated with the semantic meaning of the search query, also may represent longitudinal correlation information associated with the semantic meaning of the search query.
- In some embodiments, the search engine includes a plurality of levels of demand dimensions, in which each first level of demand dimensions includes a plurality of first level demand dimensions, and each first level demand dimension corresponds to at least one lower level demand dimension. The plurality of first level demand dimensions can represent the lateral correlation information, and the plurality of levels of demand dimensions can represent the longitudinal correlation, such that the various demands of the user can be covered fully in many aspects, and thus the user can obtain the search result meeting the demand of the user.
- For example, the first level of demand dimensions corresponding to the search query "huskies" may be "purchase strategy", "adorable Husky", "methods for feeding", "anecdotes". Each first level of demand dimension may correspond to at least one second level demand dimension, such as the first level demand dimension "purchase strategy" may correspond to the second level demand dimensions such as "How much is a husky", "Is it easy to keep it ? ", "how to distinguish a purebred dog" and "more purchase strategies".
-
Fig. 3(a) is a schematic diagram of a search result page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown inFig. 3(a) , with respect to the search query "huskies" input by the user, the search result page may provide a plurality of demand dimensions at a same level (i.e. the first level demand dimensions) such as "purchase strategy", "adorable Husky", "methods for feeding" and "anecdotes" inregion 1; the plurality of lower level demand dimensions(i.e. the second level demand dimensions) corresponding to each first level demand dimension are provided in the region where the each first level demand dimension is located, for example, the demand dimensions such as "How much is a husky", "Is it easy to keep it ? ", "how to distinguish a purebred dog" and "more purchase strategies" can be provided with respect to "purchase strategy". According to a preset strategy, the search results corresponding to one demand dimension thereof can be displayed inregion 2, and the preset strategy is not limited in the present disclosure. For example, the search results corresponding to the demand dimension "How much is a husky" may be displayed inFig. 3(a) . - In some embodiments, the user can click on
button 3 inregion 1 to view more demand dimensions. - In step S403, the operation on the at least one first level of demand dimensions from the user is obtained by the search engine.
- For example, after at least one first level of demand dimensions is provided by the search engine, the user can click on the corresponding demand dimension, and the search engine can obtain the operation on the corresponding demand dimension from the user.
- In step S404, a search can be performed by the search engine to obtain a second search result according to the demand dimension corresponding to the operation of the user.
- For example, as shown in
Fig. 3(a) , when the user clicks on the demand dimension "purchase strategy", the search engine can obtain the second search result according to the demand dimension "purchase strategy". - In step S405, the at least one second level of demand dimensions is generated according to the demand dimension corresponding to the operation of the user.
- For example, as shown in
Fig. 3(a) , when the user clicks on the demand dimension "purchase strategy", the second level demand dimensions may be generated by the search engine, such as "How much is a husky", "Is it easy to keep it ? ", "how to distinguish a purebred dog" and "more purchase strategies". - It should be understood, S404 and S405 are executed regardless of the order.
- In step S406, the second search result and the at least one second level of demand dimensions are provided in the search result page by the search engine.
- For example, the second search result and the at least one second level of demand dimensions provided in the search result page may be as shown in

- In some embodiments, the demand dimension can be obtained by a variety of ways, for example, the demand dimension can be obtained by analyzing a search log of the user. In some embodiments, the search engine determines at least one first level of demand dimensions corresponding to the search query by performing a semantic analysis on the search query, in which the semantic analysis can be understood with reference to the related art, in this, which is not described herein.
- In some embodiments, the searching method further includes the step (not shown in the drawings) of sequencing the plurality of first level demand dimensions in the at least one first level of demand dimensions according to a query frequency and/or a user search record. Specifically, sequencing the plurality of first level demand dimensions can refer to the related art, which is not described herein. The hot demand dimension can be at the top part of a list of the first level demand dimensions by sequencing the plurality of first level demand dimensions.
- In some embodiments, the searching method further includes the step (not shown in the drawings) of providing a recommendation in the search result page according to the demand dimension corresponding to the operation of the user. Specifically, the recommendation may be an entity associated with the search query, such that the recommendation can help the user to understand entities associated with the search query in all aspects. The recommendation may be a potential succeeding demand or a related appeal. Also, the recommendation can provide more related entities for the user in addition to provide the demand dimensions for helping the user to clarify his search intention. In this way, the user does not feel disappointed, and the recommendation can be provided in the search result page according to the demand dimension corresponding to the operation of the user. For example,
